Socialist Youth of PSM condemn the brutal suppression of Tamil students in Jaffna, Sri Lanka
The Socialist Youth from the Socialist Party of Malaysia strongly condemn the brutal harassment and arrest of students in Jaffna, Sri Lanka for participating in a peaceful protest to remember the people who lost their lives in the 30 years of bloody war.
The arrests under the Prevention of Terrorism Act is yet another proof that the state authorities, like the Malaysian federal government, are using the 'national security' agenda on its people to suppress the peoples' uprisings.
We believe that it is a basic human right of any individual or group of people to express their views peacefully without any harassment by the state. Thus, the arrest is clearly undemocratic and against the claims of the Sri Lankan government of their balanced treatment of the opposition in Sri Lanka.
We demand an immediate release of the arrested students.
Long live the students struggle
